Story

Six years ago I decided to face my fears - I started running to keep my mental health in check...and now, I'm running the London Marathon in memory of Mark Lewis and Dilan Patel. 

CALM is a national charity dedicated to preventing male suicide in the UK. 

CALM's helpline gets on average 5,000 calls per month. 

£7 covers the cost of one 'life-saving' phone call - THAT'S THE COST OF 2...ish COFFEES!

Suicide prevention will always be close to my heart, and with the pandemic, CALM needs your help more than ever - so please dig deep. 

Much love, Hema x


CALMs helpline and webchat services directly prevented 675 suicides in 2017

Don't fight it alone.
